Russia to 'disconnect from global internet' on March 11

The regular people from Russia will be disconnected, but Russia will be using hackers to screw things up in Europe and the USA yet, they can use the excuse nobody has access to the net so it is not Russia at that point.

Perhaps they should russia to stop killing Ukrainians and go home then?




I am sorry to hear about your loved ones, I have a couple old contacts I'd be happy to call if they can do something specific to help them. As far as I know they don't really have any reach beyond far west Ukraine right now though, my guy in Kharkiv was killed by russians a few days ago.

Best advice I have is to avoid large traffic groups (russia is attacking these) and find a way to the western border. LOTS of Patriots are helping refugees in every possible way there, and much of Ukraine's remaining air defenses are there, specifically to protect those civilians, so russia hasn't attacked there too often, and have been quickly shot down when they do.

Thanks. My Congressman said he will help, but they have to get to an US embassy and apply for a VISA before he can do anything. It is a complicated situation and we have people willing to assist, but it may as much as months before they can get an appointment at an US Embassy, as the Embassies are swamped.

Didnt Facebook, Twitter and others leave before any talk about banning them?
Is it a sad game or what?
"We are leaving"
"We will ban you"
"Too late"
"D'oh!"

Fair enough.

For what it's worth, I hope your friend manages to get out OK. I would be interested in knowing who it was that was making it difficult, as I am sure others would as well, when they manage to get out.

Sounds like a non U.S. citizen trying to enter the U.S. from Ukraine.

Which isn't the proper destination at the moment.

Poland is.

A foreign national trying to enter the U.S. from Ukraine isn't likely to be quick, and maybe not even possible for a while.

Poland and Turkey meanwhile are accepting anyone that can reach their border, no visa required.

The2Billies can fill in those details; I have no idea. All I know is that reports have said Ukraine is not allowing any makes between 18 and 60 to leave, instead forcing them to take up arms against Russia. Whether or not that has anything to do with The2Billies' friend, I don't know.

I also will say that, having been to Canada a few times as a truck driver, I have never had any real problem getting into Canada, but have always, every single time, had a hassle getting back into my own country. There was one time where I swear I was thinking of turning the truck around, going back into Canada, stopping at the nearest police station, turning myself in as an illegal alien, and begging them to deport me back home!

Says a lot about a country when it makes it hard for its own citizens to enter, but makes it easy for everyone else, especially those coming here illegally, to enter.

That's for Ukrainian citizens.

He said he's having trouble with the American embassy.

But I only have enough details for wild guessing.

Same Canada experience in passenger vehicles since 2002.

I don't live near the border anymore, but started pretending Canada just didn't exist long before moving south, isn't worth dealing with American border guard nazis anymore.

Funny, ANYONE can cross our other border with no issues at all.

Or even ID.

Its not about punishing his own people. Its about controlling the flow of information, like what the democrats always try to do here. Once they have control of the information, they manipulate the people, then punish the ones who resist, like what the democrats always try to do here.

once that person is safe I'll give you all an update

right now things are tense and difficult and a friend traveling with my friend was "detained"

People have no idea how scare are the people in Russia, no, no the warmongers of Putin if he have any, right now, but the regular people specially the younger generation that are trying to understand what is going on.

Russia is a big country and not all their regions are keep informed and up today. Sad very sad.

Not true. My Russian friend said that threat has been going on for 10 years.

I guess ats will lose half its posters when russia shuts off their internet. Well half of the half. The other half will still be able to use whatever internet they have available at their Russian govt desk.

Getting everyone involved to safety is top priority. Our discussions are way, way, way down the list.

I didn't notice any disconnection from your forum.

I hope this will not affect your trust in "Belarus-based media outlet Nexta."

Lumen, who provided internet backbone connectivity to the largest russian carriers disconnected early in the morning on 3/11.

Not sure what the current internet status is in russia though.

How would they even tell us?





ETA - Apparently carriers found other routes for now, are they disobeying putin?

I am confused in the testimony given by the participants in this topic.

At first they wrote that Russia wants to disconnect from the Internet.

Now you write that someone (Lumen) disconnects Russia from the Internet.

In any case, I'm still with you.

Are you upset about this?

I don't get it either, just passing on what I saw.

Would be extremely unusual for a company to ignore putin's order.

I don't really care much either way, but would prefer that Russians still had at least a little access to information that wasn't fabricated by putin.
